All-terrain vehicles

That the Canadian Medical Association recommend:
a) that the federal departments of transport and consumer and corporate affairs enact legislation for the purpose of setting national safety standards for all-terrain vehicles,
b) that provincial governments be urged to review and strengthen regulations related to the use of all-terrain vehicles,
c) that provincial governments be urged to introduce a specific driver's licence category for all-terrain vehicle drivers; such licence would require demonstrating competence in handling the vehicle.
